I’m a little high on the hype tonight but let me throw this out there. Say say Khamzat and Bo both fight 2-3 more times over the next year from now. If both are winning, Khamzat is gonna have been in a title fight by then. Say Khamzat’s title fight or 1 before is a loss, if Bo has kept the call-out in earshot enough over this time, it’s an easy fight to make at the last quarter of next year.
If Khamzat gets the belt, the schedule extends.
Whatever, I’m excited for the next time either of them fight.
This is what Nickal said in the post fight, that he would like to make his UFC debut in December. Also said he thinks he will be champ and #1 P4P in the world by middle or end of 2024.
Nickal opens as 18-1 fav for his UFC debut. Chimaev opened as only a -250 fav in his debut but the odds did close at 5-1.
John Philips was Chimaev’s debut opponent and he was ranked #130 in the world at fightmatix right before the Chimaev fight. That happens to be almost identical to Nickals debut opponent, Jamie Picket, who is ranked #145 in the world at the moment.
I’ll walk back my prediction. I’ll say that Hazmat isn’t the anointed champ and he very well could fizzle out if he gets boxed up by Bobby knuckles. Izzy could also piece him up after stuffing a few takedowns.
Don’t forget that it was less than a few years ago that hazmat retired and was crying muh Covid lungs! I question his mental toughness.
I see Alex, Izzy, Bobby, and Hazmat locked in a weird situation where one fighter is ones kryptonite. I think Izzy beats Bobby, Hazmat possibly beating Izzy but he can’t get past the gate keeper Bobby. Alex might beat Izzy but gets wrestle fucked by Hazmat if he gets to cut in line
You should watch his last few fights. He has improved a lot. Way more composed out there. I think he wins tomorrow and takes the title from whoever has it after tomorrows Pitbull vs Borics fight.
I don’t think he has lost a completed round in his career.
If Holland could have made it to round two it would have been interesting. But he couldn’t so kudos to Cumshot for that. Anyone that can survive his onslaught will give him problems. He’ll overwhelm most people, but not everyone.
